Answer:
A shepherd from Dasanadoddi village in Karnataka's Mandya district, Kame Gowda became known for digging ponds and bringing water to a dry hillock
Explanation:
Bengaluru: Kame Gowda, a shepherd from a small village in Karnataka's Mandya district, has got the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his most recent Mann Ki Baat broadcast, PM Modi referred to Mr Gowda as a "water warrior" and described how he had dug ponds near his village Dasanadoddi so that the area which was patched in summer could have access to water all year round.
NDTV met Mr Gowda at his village back in 2018. The 82-year-old man stays in a small house. He shows the recognitions he had received for his work, including the state's Rajyotsava Award.
He walked with us to the ponds he had built. The animals of the village do not go thirsty anymore.I lived like a wild animal from the age of 5. My mother had 10 children and showed me no affection," he said. "The sheep and other animals - I was close to them. What do the birds, the snakes do? I understood what difficulties animals faced? All animals suffer a lot in summer. They want water. I have seen this from the time I was young. And I felt that if I don't do something about this suffering, aren't I a rakshasa (demon)? That is why I organised these ponds," he said.
